J ACK MARTIN Three months summer vacation sifted through the proverbial hourglass in a surprisingly short while and up came September, 1951. The upperclassmen of J. C. trouped back to Utopia Tech and after the inevitable lost hours of registering, we settled down to the fine business of partying. Between coke parties, SUB parties, club parties, and just plain part parties, the sophomores managed to squeeze in a little book learning. At the end of first six weeks the Frosh that had squeezed in enough, were initiated to the Clubs and money making projects started. Auctions in the SUB, cookie sales, selling Navy Band Concert tickets and Rummage Sales were only a part of the duties, but this time the elder Sophomores had the new comer Freshmen to carry the load. Christmas trees and tinsel time arrived on merry wings and we adjourned from this place of higher education to see old friends and gather with new ones over egg nog bowls and at fire place Christmas carol sessions. The annual Alumni dance at the Soreno was a special treat with so many Alumni and actives present. But when the aura of friendly smiles and nostalgic revery passed, the Hard Cold Blue Book welcomed us back to these hallowed halls . Toiling minds and scratching pens, worried frowns and glassy stares characterized the brave sophomores struggling for those all important graduation credits. With exams over, Blue books put away for a few more months, relaxation settled over J. C. The Sophomores turned out to see the Trojan Basketball Squad assisted by the newly inaugurated cheerleaders play a full schedule of games. We voted in a special Sophomore Class assembly on our favorite classmates to receive the coveted features in the Troiad. The fatal list of those eligible for graduation appeared on the bulletin board and hopefuls were measured for caps and gowns, and began to think of June time, Prom time. Despite Spring fever the last hurdle was passed with more ease than we expected and plunged into the ever to be remembered farewell parties and graduation exercises. Proms, Class night, the Annual presentation - having it autographed by friends, the Freshman- Sophomore picnic, baccalaureate and the final promenade down the lanes of the Lynch Memorial Chapel in the dignified caps and gowns of the graduating sophomores of 1952- the last act, en masse, of another class passing into an uncertain future, scattering through out the land as our fortune calls. A few will gather again in Alumni meetings, but all of us carry cherished memories of hard work and wonderful times together in junior College.
